As well as being an investment property, it is intended the building will become the White Eagle Meditation Centre, and home to the chariws work in London.

Modifications to the new ixjikling are planned and planning change of use V11 be sought befo opening to the public. We ag8ln offered a full programm6 of residenti81 retreats and retreat days. We have adapted some of our public services to reach out to a wider audlence through online streaming, not only from our Centre at Newlands In Hampshire but also som6 of our regional ntr88. A regular meditation, open to all, continues to be particularly successful. Sunday Gatherings, with a more infomial and particApatory approach, have been very well-received. The weekly online Campfire continues to attract partlcipants from around tha world; Ilkewise our regular Peac6 Service and discussion groups. An additional online activty 'Starshine' commenced durfng the ye8r, medttstlng to send Light to world conditions such as drought4tricken aroas In Africa. In June we agaln held an open day, themed on Peace and Healing, which brought many people to New Lands for the first lime. My grateful thanks to all the Staff and volunteers who worked so hard to make this day the success it was. For over 80 Yea th8 charity has offered distant and contact healing, free of charge to all who ask for it. This is one of the pillar8 of the Lodge and provides significant public benefit. These continued during the year. Our Lodge Mother, the spiritual head of the organi8ation. maintain8 contact wtth our sister organisations throughout the world whose Wrk is also inspired by the White Eagle teachings. In Augusvseptember she vistted Australia, at her own expense, and led retreats at the temple in Maleny (Queensland) and in Melboume. Her vislt was much appreciated and clearty inspirational. In addition, European leaders visited our Hampshlre centre In June for a conference to share experfences and dlscuss vrfays forward In a changing vr1d. The trustee recruitment exercise that commenced last year has led to three new trustees joining the board and a further prospectwe trustee entering our probatM)nary prosS. This was balanod by the retirement of two long serving twstees and we are very grateful for their significant )ntributions. Finalty, I wish to pay tribute to our dedicated stsff team who, along with volunteers in our regional centres, have continued to rise to the challenge of working in new ways. Their dedication and hard work ensured the Lodge has continued to provide essential support to our members and beneficiaries during the year. Page 1

The charity thoose8 to exclude investment in companies with a significant or direct involvement in these areas: - tobacco gambling - arms manufadure, supply and retailing production and distribution of pornography nuclear power production andlor uraniurn mining - genetically modified organisms (GMO) whore this represents more than 5% of tumover - Ix)mpanies that use animals for testing, discovery or the manufadure of healthcare or other products - wmpanies involved in fa¢tory famiing, the use of fur and the production of meat - the production of violent VKleolcomputer games (accounting for moTr than 5D/o of turnover) - companies that are Involved in the large-scale production of palm oil and deforestation - companies where there is a cumulative effect of tumover representing 5)h or more of the above axclusrons. Whilst the char1 reo)gnises the need8 of a modern economy and the requirement for basic commoditi88 such as iron and oil, we wish to support only those companles considered to be the best in these sectors with regard to the environmental Impact of their activitte8. Additionally, the charity seeks to support actlvlties that encourage employment, relIng and sustain8bSa waste management, renewable anergy and green technology, safety and protection, trainlng and educational activities and the applicatians of sustsinable practices..

THE WHrrE EAGLE LODGE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 FINANCIAL REVIEW Reserves policy The trust88s regularly review the reserves needs of the chaiity. This review encornpasses the nature of the income arKI expenditure streams, the need to match variable income (particularfy from legaoes) with red eommitments and the purpose of holding reserves.. The trustees believ8 it is prudent for the charity to seek to build minimum general reserves equivalent trj 6 months core exp8nditure of £500,000 {2024125). At the end of the reporting period we held £981.657 {2024: £1,192,319) unrestricted general funds. This figure includes designated funds allocated to specific projects and those unrestricted funds held within regional centres. This 'General R8seNe" will provide flexibility in fijffilling the aims of the Organisatn and a buffer to maintain unintemipted seNces. The charity is fortunate in having suffKient unrestricted re8erve8 in place to anable ft lo remain viable, and continue operating, during thls ongoin9 period of uncertainty. The sale proceeds from the London propety, in September 2014, are classified as permanent endowment and cannot b8 deemed "reserves" nor are they availabb for general purposes but were used for the pur¢h8se of the new building in London in Mah 2025. The rnajority of the proceads have been investad to provide a regular, annual income towards budgeted expenditure. As at 31 March 2025 the estlmated yield is sufflclwt to cover the Lodge's budgeted requirements. Page 8

Through the risk management processes estsblished for the organisation, the trustees are satisfied that the major risks identified have been adequately mitigated where nKessary. It is recognised that systems can onty provide reasonable, but not absolute, assurance that major risks have been adequately managed. Financial risks are limited by adherence to the Lodge's comprehensive polw of internal controls and annual audit by a fimi of Chartered Accountants with experien in the charity sect(K, The organisation has developed safeguarding policies and procedures in relation to Vulnerab members of the public and beneficiaries.

THE VYHITE EAGLE LODGE REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2025 Factors likely to affect the performance of the charity indude: - stock market turbu18n¢e, arising due to uncertainty surrounding the global economic outlook, impacting upon the perfomiance of our investrnent portfolio. The majority of our portfolio is invested for the longer temi, enabling us to manage short-term fluctuatK)ns. Loss of skilled workers. We have a relatively small staff base, many with skills and knowledge that are unique to the White Eagle Lodge. The trustees regularly discuss Succession planning with the management team, In addition key volunteers attend our Ministerial Support training with the intention of widening the ski118 base. Falling membership numbers has a negative impact on the scope of the services we can offer to the public, in particular all aspects of the healing work. We are endeavouring to engage with potenlial new Members through the website, social media and how we present the While Eagle teachings so they are relevant to the Issues poople are facing ioday. Reduced availability of volunteers. We recognlse the essential role volunteers provide in helplng the charity meet Its objectives. We also recognise there are fewer volunteers avallable to meet the rising needs of our beneficiaries. Therefore we are working to improve the ways we engage vAth, and train, our volunteers. 5. Fundral8lng The charitys direct expenditure on fundraising activities remains small. Th8 While Eagle Lodge does not use or have any relationship with any third party commeIal participators, nor pay professional fundraisers. We do not use cold calling as a fundraislng technique. In order to protect the public from unraason8ble intrusion on their privacy we strictly Ilmit the number of fundraising msilings and we do not fundraise by telephone. We do not share, or sell, any personal data wo hold and we compty with the requlrements of relevant data protection leglslation. Our ongoing fundraFslng efforts include seeklng regular donations from members in addttion to membership fees,. raising awareness of legacy giving (via our bi-monthly joumal) and provlding opportunities to donate {via literature, the web8tt6 and collection boxeslplates at services and events). During thls reporting period neither the chaiity nor any person acting on behalf of the charfty was subject to an undertaking to be bound by any voluntary scheme for regulating fund raising, or any voluntary standard of fund rai8ing. The charity has not receivod any complaints during the reporting period relating to fundraising.

REPORT OF THE INDEPENDENT AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF THE WHrrE EAGLE LODGE Our responsibilitles for the audit of the financial statements Our objectives are to oblain reasonable assurance abouÈ whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misslatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a Report of the Independent Auditors that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit ndUcted in accordance wilh ISAS (UK) will always detect a material misslatement vthen it exists. Mbsststements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these finanoal statements. The extent to which our procedures are capable of detecting irregularities, including fraud is detailed below: From distxjssion with management and those charged with governance information about the entrty is documented to assess the activity within the organisation. We discuss management's assessment of rtsk in respect or irregularities, fraud and going concem. 8ased on these discussions and our own assessments we determined that Ihe key risk areas were income r8cognition in respect of cut off issues and mana9ement override conceming the size of the organisation. We set financial statement materiality level based on the level of ino)me. A8 a not for profft or9anisation raising income is its primary focus which is Nvhy income was used to detemiine the level of materbalty. Our overall a&98ssment of risk wa8 used to detemine performance materiality at an appropriate level. Substsntive audit tests were designed after assessing and perfomiing walkthrough tests. The walkthrough testing confirmed documented systems which have been designed to act as a preventative measure against fraud and error which appear to be operating as documented. Substantive testing tested a sample of the population, representative of the population, to identify errors. The testing did not identfy ary material mlsststements in areas te8tsd. Audlt substantive tests concluded no material emr over tho key areas of income recognition and management overrfde. The audlt considers the organisation is not exposed to material rlsk of error as a result of assesslng laws and regulations that are approprfate to the organisatlon. Management assessed there i8 no going c£¥ncern risk. The audit undertook a review of budgets, management accounts and the review of board minutes and came to the same conclusion as management.
